Full Description of File

OLD_DOG is a hypertext document that describes the concept of adult learning or andragogy, and how it applies to the training and development field. Writer's Dream was used to compile this document. The text was taken from my book, YOU CAN TEACH AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS - THE PSYCHOLOGY OF ADULT LEARNING. OLD_DOG is a product of THE LIFELONG LEARNING NETWORK. The Dream runtime is only 20K, but the hypertext document can be any length. This is version 4.3. It can run on monochrome or color monitors. A mouse can be used but is not needed. It was compiled using 640K and DOS 5.0., but it should run under most systems because it is not ram-hungry. No royalties or run time fees are required beyond the $3.00 registration fee payable to the LIFELONG LEARNING NETWORK. You can place your order from the main menu. Read, enjoy, and learn.
